UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority bought senior consultancy services focused on financial services policy. The work is classified as financial consultancy and is intended to provide the FCA with senior-level policy expertise. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The recorded procurement is for one requirement, rather than a set of separately described service lots. The named buyer is the Financial Conduct Authority, and the selected provider is Moorhouse Consulting Limited. The scope is described at a high level as provision of a senior consultant’s services for financial services policy; no specific policy topics or deliverables are set out in the procurement information.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Moorhouse Consulting Limited. The award was made on 4 September 2026. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 23 September to 18 December 2026, with an option to extend for a further three months, to 17 March 2027. The published contract value is £120,000 excluding VAT (£144,000 including VAT); the value includes the extension period. The FCA used a selective procedure, making an award under a framework agreement through a below-threshold route. The framework call-off was competitive. The procurement covered one lot. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are stated in the available process details.

This award shows demand at the FCA for senior consultancy focused specifically on financial services policy, delivered through a competitive framework call-off. A future competitor would need to offer credible senior-level policy consultancy suited to the financial services regulatory context, with the expertise and capacity to provide the consultant services required over a short engagement. Moorhouse Consulting Limited was selected for this requirement, providing a benchmark for the type of supplier that can win this work. The procurement details do not set out particular qualifications, accreditations, named policy specialisms or other formal capability thresholds, so the clearest evidence of relevance is a supplier’s ability to deliver senior consultancy in financial services policy through an appropriate framework route.
